A worst Nightmare in Blu

My uncle Bought this car after doing lot of research in this budget category, finally he decided to go for this car Since it was newly launched. We got this Car delivered in April 2019. It is such a good looking car. During the month of June i'm his niece and his son and daughter in law went for a short trip to a nearby Hill station. the car was pretty new and the kilometers driven was within 2K and thought a long derive would be good for both the car and us. all of a sudden in the middle of a lengthy traffic, the car was down, and we were struck in the middle of the road . After many attempts the car didn't start and we manually pushed it aside with the help of passerby. And after 6 hours of waiting we have got the road side assistance and the Tuck vehicle arrived, it was almost dark and out of nowhere with a girl by our side. the next day we gave verbal beat down for the dealer who sold this piece of trash and made us suffer. They convinced us by saying this is a rarest complain and we are very sure this will be your last trouble for some time. after the delivery it was going well and Yesterday 8/9/2019 I have received a call from my Uncle telling that the car stood still and didn't take off in middle of an express highway due to fuel leakage from the hose takes petrol to the engine when he tried to start the fuel was flowing like anything out of the hose, clueless Uncle who is senior citizen along with my aunt sought the help of the passerby and got the car moved to the sides, they stood there for some 5 hours to Reach home after the recovery arrived after 3 hours of the complaint. and this morning what we got is again a lame answer and a mere excuse. after 6 months of Driving this within 5K we have come to a conclusion and we are no longer going to ride this car. they promised for a corrective action from Ford India, but since its not reliable anymore we have decided to exchange it to a better car company and to sue Ford India. our Negligence is their advantage. one of the worst experiences with a car we had in our entire life. with all right i will not suggest you this car ever. go for Hyundai or Toyota. Note my Uncle Was a central Govt Driver Who served for 45 Yrs for Commerce Dept. and retired. A seasoned Driver who holds an heavy license and badge. We know things can go wrong in a single car due to manufacturing defects but aren't we living in an age of absolute quality control and quality assurance.

Good Commuter Car

<p>I bought the I-20 Era (Petrol) in Hyderabad nearly&nbsp;5 months back. Have driven around 2000 km+. I use it for commuting to office and family car (run errands for the house, visiting nearby places etc). My observations below-</p> <p>- Very spacious car-ideal family hatch. I have test driven Swift (truly a segment below I-20)&nbsp;and Polo, the amount of space in I-20 beats all of them hands down. With the front seat fully pushed out, a 5-10 individual can seat comfortably behind.</p> <p>- Excellent road manners- Goes well over potholes, swallows small road im-perfections and speedbreakers well. However, the Ground clearance, although enough could have been better.</p> <p>- Powerful AC: Beats Hyderabad summer heat comfortably.</p> <p>- Boot space-Packs in 2 large suitcases easily. Large meaning 32 inch suitcases</p> <p>- Quality of Interiors: Fantastic. beats the competition hollow. However, the Polo has better built interiors.</p> <p>- Comfortable driving position</p> <p>-Mileage: I get 11 Kmpl (in city) with AC and 16 kmpl (on highway) with AC. Lately (Oct/Nov), without AC, i am getting 12 kmpl mileage for in-city driving. Please note mileage will depend on how aggresively you drive and the load in the car (driving single or with family), petrol used (I use Shell) etc.</p> <p>Now for the cons</p> <p>- Lack of power: In the first and second gear, outright power is&nbsp;missing, so less straightline acceleration. Pick-up has improved after first service, but i still feel that outright Pick-up is less at below 1000 rpm.</p> <p>- Suspension: Make no mistake, the power steering is great. It is just that there is no feel, you can turn the steering with a finger. I have to be very careful in highways at speeds greater than 80kms.</p> <p>- Suspension: Makes a sound over a road reflector which percolates to cabin. However, does not feel so noisy over bad roads/potholes. So, I am not sure over this con.</p> <p>Also, this is a segment over Swift, I say this considering space, car experience and ride quality. Its true competition is Polo &amp; Punto.</p> <p>All in all, would I buy this car again? Yes, if i am looking for a family car. For a driver's car-No. But then these are family cars. So highly recommended.</p>Space, Comfort, Styling, Boot space, Quality of interiorsLow end acceleration, suspension damping, no-feel steering
